Match Report
Leeds United and Brentford played out a forgettable 0-0 draw at Elland Road on Saturday, with neither side able to find any cutting edge in a match that produced fewer than 20 shots and a combined expected goals tally of under one.
Leeds dominated possession at 57% but could only muster three shots on target from 12 attempts, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin well marshalled throughout. Brentford were even blunter — Igor Thiago, the league's second-top scorer with 19 goals this season, was kept quiet all afternoon and managed just two shots on target from five attempts. Goalkeepers Karl Darlow and Caoimhin Kelleher were rarely troubled.
The point edges Brentford to 46 points in seventh, just above Everton on goal difference, but they will feel this was a missed opportunity against a side battling the drop. For Leeds, the draw keeps them four points clear of the bottom three — but with fixtures against Wolves, Burnley, West Ham, and Spurs still to come, every point matters in their survival fight.
